Motherwell Game

[RiG]

No threads as far as I am aware on this one and we normally do quite well down there. Cue a 4 - 0 pumping. At least Foran has left so if they get a penalty it will be someone new to score it.

As for the team I can't see too many changes being made after Tynecastle. We are stuck with Bayne and MacAllister up front as McSwegan still isn't fit. Midfield will most likely pick itself. Only likely change could be the return of Black. The defence and keeper are pretty much picked for the rest of the season barring injuries.

Fraser

Tokely Munro Dods Hastings

Wilson Duncan McBain Rankin

Bayne MacAllister

Hopefully we will get the ball down and pass it about a bit more given that it worked so well against Celtic it was disappointing to see us go back to long ball against Hearts. I also hope the midfield is more organised than last Saturday. Seemed somewhat disjointed given previous performances. Fingers crossed anyway.

I hope rory will be dropped credit where its due he played well against celtic but has done nothing all the other games ive seen him play i would go for

                  Fraser

Tokely - Dods - Munro - Hastings

Mcbain - Black - Duncan - Rankin

            Wilson

                        Bayne

And if that doesnt work you can take off one of the midfielders put wilson back on the right and put on pattelinen.  He is a striker isnt he?

What do you think?

[RiG]

Forgot about Paatelainen. If Wilson was deployed further up the field then he could replace Wilson on the right. He is primarily a midfielder on the right side but can play across the midfield and up front IIRC.

Indeed CC said he needed someone to come deep to collect the ball like Dargo does linking midfield and attack. Surely then Wilson is obvious for this as Rory clearly can't do it.

[chris123]

Rory clearly cant do anything

[EWS]

I forgot about this game, might have to head over to Motherwell for it.  I take it that it is pay at the gate as usual?  My line up would be as follows;

GK: Fraser

Defence: Rossco, Dodds, Hastings and Munro

Midfield: Barry, Rankin, Duncan and McBain

Forward: Markus and Bayne.

[Libero]

How about a freshen up with the line-up?

                Fraser

Tokely  Dods  Munro  Hastings

Hart    Black  Duncan  Rankin

          Wilson

                        Bayne

[RiG]

I'd like to see hart back but AFAIK he is out injured.

[chris123]

i like hart aswell he gives us flair without biting off peoples ankles

[caley100]

After the last two games Mcallister does not deserve a start, i'd put Patti on the right and Barry just behind Bayne, might even get Black a start instead of Roy, needs to be changed a wee bit for sure.

He's been fit last few weeks and played in reserves on Tuesday but didn't play very well from what I hear.

The big Finn played up front in that game and McSwegan lasted 90 minutes - would think either of them would be a better option than Rory

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

All depends if we are going fer a point I suppose.  :012: :012:

[EWS]

What stand are we likely to be in?

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Black has almost certainly got to play because we need to get him fit for the Celtic game. Marcus is cup tied. Roy will be suspended after the Celtic game. We probably need to give McSwegan a start to give us options for Celtic aklthough Rory played exceptionally well against them in the League.

Good stuff. I'd like to see him back in the team.

[Libero]

Good stuff. I'd like to see him back in the team.

Would like to see him getting on the bench at the very least. Hart offers us a different dimension to the team i think, great crosser usually and not afraid to hit a shot. Just a shame that he's had his share of injuries and has had some pretty tough competition for a starting place in the team.

[RiG]

Good point about his crossing. I think Hart is one of the best crossers at ICT. Hoipe to see him back sooner rather than later.

[Caley Stan]

Rory is very lucky that we've got nobody to come in for him. I'd love to see Barry given a go through the middle but we've got nobody to take his place on the right. It would also be great to see Blackie come back in to the centre of midfield but Charlie can't really drop Russell or Roy given their consistency over the last six weeks.

So i say reluctantly, same team as Saturday. 

[RiG]

I'd love to see Barry given a go through the middle but we've got nobody to take his place on the right.

What about Marcus Paateleinan?

[Kingsmills]

A must win game if we are to maintain any realistic hope of a top six finish.

[Stevie]

What stand are we likely to be in?

It'll be the massive double tiered job behind the goal.

Each fan gets his/her own row  :015:

[The Mantis]

They put us in the main stand last year (1-0 Dargo). Can't understand why they opened the other one for us this season.

Hadn't realised that.

I had a look at the Motherwell site to see if there was any info there but I can't read it 'cause it's got the tiny small type that is currently sweeping the internet, can anyone help this poor bloke who ain't computer literate, how do you make the text bigger ?

[EWS]

Was that not because it was a meaningless end of season game?

To make size bigger hold down control and scroll in and out.

[RiG]

No it was more to do with the fact that it makes no sense to open that huge stand when we take about 250 fans down.
